Malaysia PDG Data Centre

Project Name: Malaysia PDG Data Centre

Product Specification: 100mm Polyurethane Sealing Rockwool Panel

Project Location: Johor, Malaysia

Located in Johor, Malaysia, the PDG Data Centre stands as a flagship model for modern digital infrastructure in Southeast Asia. With the increasing demand for stable, energy-efficient, and secure data storage environments, the facility required a building envelope capable of delivering exceptional fire protection, thermal insulation, and long-term durability. To meet these strict requirements, BRD supplied its advanced 100mm Polyurethane Sealing Rock Wool Sandwich Panels, forming the core of the project’s exterior wall system.

Premium Sandwich Panel System Designed for Data Centre Protection

Data centres operate around the clock, generating significant heat and requiring precise environmental control. BRD’s polyurethane edge-sealed rock wool sandwich panels were selected as the main insulated wall panel solution to ensure:

• Excellent thermal insulation for stable indoor temperature

• Outstanding fire resistance, meeting strict safety codes

• Low thermal bridging, improving overall energy efficiency

• Long-lasting durability in Malaysia’s hot and humid climate

These insulated rock wool panels combine the fire-safe properties of basalt rock wool with the high-performance insulation of polyurethane, forming a composite system ideal for mission-critical buildings.

Three Structural Advantages Redefining Data Centre Wall Systems

1. Edge-Sealed Polyurethane Technology

The closed-cell PU sealing prevents moisture ingress, which is essential for maintaining the rock wool core’s insulation performance in tropical climates.

2. Rock Wool Fire-Safe Core

The mineral fiber core delivers:

• Non-combustible performance (Class A1 level)

• Stable fire barrier capacity

• Enhanced acoustic insulation

These features ensure that the PDG Data Centre meets international data centre safety standards.

3. Precision Sandwich Panel Installation System

BRD’s tongue-and-groove sandwich panel wall system enables:

• Faster installation

• Improved airtightness

• A clean, modern façade appearance

This modular installation significantly shortened the construction period while improving façade performance.

Reliability, Energy Efficiency & Long-Term Operation

With its comprehensive insulated wall panel solution, BRD helped the Malaysia PDG Data Centre reduce cooling energy consumption and enhance system stability—both crucial for data centre operations. The project was completed on schedule and successfully passed all safety and performance inspections, setting a new benchmark for data centre construction in Malaysia.

Extending Excellence Across Malaysia’s Data Infrastructure Development

BRD continues to play an active role in supporting the country’s digital transformation. In addition to the PDG Data Centre, BRD has supplied high-performance sandwich panel and rock wool panel systems for other major data centre developments, including the Cheetah Data Center project in Malaysia—another successful milestone that showcases BRD’s expertise in insulated wall solutions for high-security technical facilities.
